Introducing AWS CloudFormation Stack Refactoring
- AWS CloudFormation now offers the feature of Stack Refactoring that lets you move resources between stacks.
- Stack refactoring is useful when you want to split a large monolithic stack into smaller, more manageable stacks; reorganize resources to better align with your application architecture or organizational structure; or rename the logical IDs of resources to make templates more readable.
- In this example provided in the post, you can create a stack having an SNS topic with a lambda function subscribed to it.
- You can then move the SNS subscription to a new stack. The entire process is covered in detail in the article.
- To split a monolithic stack into smaller, focused stacks while using exports and imports to maintain dependencies between stacks is demonstrated in the post.
- Stack refactoring is valuable for teams looking to improve their infrastructure maintainability and align their resource organization with evolving architectural patterns.
- Remember to thoroughly test your refactoring plans in a non-production environment first and always ensure that your new stack structure maintains necessary security and access controls.
- Stack refactoring eliminates the traditional need to remove the resource and then import the resource when restructuring stacks, thereby reducing misconfiguration risks and saving time.
- Stack refactoring IT professionals the flexibility to manage and reorganize their CloudFormation stack while functioning effectively under a changing environment.
- The process of stack refactoring enables more disciplined organization and resource utilization.
